ubuntu workarounds

[squiffy]

Installed Ubuntu 7.04, just a bit stuck doing a few things.

Flac, MP3, OGG, MPC files open up in Totem video player, and not Rythmbox music player. How do I open with? I've right clicked but Rythmbox isn't there, you have to "point to" but I don't know where it's located.

I've installed Automatix, and the common audio/video codecs. Movies now work, but is scaling like ffdshow working? I have installed ffmpeg but can't figure out where it's placed it (nothing in sound & video tab)

I've found my NAS on my LAN, but can't work out how out how to link wallpaper changer to the photos directory on the NAS.

Managed to get sound working (using onboard Realtek 882 rather than X-Fi)

Not sure what you mean here, you can use hotmail fine throug a browser and recieve notifications of emails and use the hotmail account for messenger using gaim.

Sorry if you were not getting at that.

No X-FI driver yet. Creative say Autumn this year but I doubt it.
